Stuck shed...

[ali.randax3]

My baby will be here in a few hrs. Soooo excited. The guy did inform me that she has a little bit of stuck shed behind her head. Anything I can do to get it off? He said it would come off with the next shed. But I’d like to get it off sooner. Or should I not even worry about it right now and just let her settle in?

As long as it's a small amount on the neck, just let your new pet settle in.

I don’t personally think you would be doing a disservice by possibly soaking him in warm (around 80/82 degrees) for 20/25 minutes. Don’t make the water more then half the snakes overall height. Afterwards let them crawl through a wet wash cloth for a minute or two. It should help, and hopefully not over stress the little guy out. Just my two cents.

I think just using a spray of water & then a damp cloth on that area would be less stressful & make it come right off. That's honestly what I'd do.

She happens to have more stuck shed then he mentioned. It’s small parts all over her, it’s not a lot, but it’s more than just a little. Not gonna worry about it right now. She’s now in her hide and I want to let her settle. Thanks y’all.
